    I dont think those protest voters were significant, people just think “food didnt get cheaper” and didnt felt like voting anymore. Thats your average voter mindset.

      It’s funny how they consider they had massive impact until there are consequences to their actions. Then, it wasn’t much.

        I don’t think anyone sincerely believed that protest voters were ever going to have a significant impact. I think all of the noise you heard was astroturf designed to knock Harris from both sides of the Israel political position.

      While ignoring that for most people, their purchasing power also went up.

      They want to pay pre-pandemic prices for food while making post-pandemic paychecks, and there’s no way that’s going to happen without guillotines. So instead they voted in the wealthy assholes who directly caused COVID and indirectly caused inflation/greedflation because surely those people won’t do that again, right?
